Any of you across the pond thinking of joining? Here's part of the story:

LONDON (Reuters) - Vampyres are prowling for new recruits in London as Halloween approaches to partake in wild parties, trips to Transylvania and bat spotting nights -- but coffin-dwelling, blood drinkers need not apply.
With a penchant for custom-made fangs, striking make-up and gothic clothes, members of the London Vampyre Group (LVG) say it's their fascination with the romantic notion of vampires, rather than any darker intent, that draws them together.

"People who think they're un-dead, hundreds of years old, or that you have to drink blood if you're interested in the dark side of things, we can put them right on that," LVG's Mick Smith, 57, told Reuters in an interview in a London pub.

"The drinking of blood is a taboo. It's a point of view that we don't tend to represent, but we think it is something that should be articulated," said Smith, wearing a somber black suit.

Even most goths, who like the romantic aspects of vampires, think that these vampire nuts are just that -- nuts. Who has the time to waste pretending to be a vampire? They need a new hobby.

Well, to each their own. The Vampyre community was a lot more fun before everyone started talking about it....
